How It Works

The Diglot Weaving Method

Diglot Weaver uses a scientifically-backed language learning technique called "diglot weaving." This method gradually introduces words from your target language into text in your native language, allowing you to learn vocabulary naturally through context.

Example:

Original English text:

"The sun was setting behind the mountains as the old man walked along the beach."

Spanish weaved text:

"The sol was setting behind the montaƱas as the viejo man walked along the playa."

The Process

  1. Upload a Book

    Upload a PDF file of a book you'd like to read. The book should contain selectable text (not scanned images).

  2. Choose Your Settings

    Select your target language (Spanish, French, or German) and the percentage of text you want translated (10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%).

  3. We Process Your Text

    Our system analyzes the text, identifies the most frequently used words, and translates them based on your percentage selection.

  4. Read and Learn

    Start reading! Hover over translated words to see their original form. As you read, you'll naturally begin associating the foreign words with their meaning through context.

How We Select Words

Diglot Weaver uses a frequency-based approach to select which words to translate:

  • Most Frequent First

    We translate the most frequently occurring words in the text first. This ensures you learn the most useful vocabulary.

  • Context-Aware Translations

    We take into account the surrounding words to provide accurate translations that respect language-specific rules.

Tips for Effective Learning

  • Read regularly - consistency is key for language learning.
  • Don't rush - take time to understand each sentence before moving on.
  • Read aloud - this helps with pronunciation and reinforces learning.
  • Re-read the same text at higher translation percentages as you improve.
  • Choose content you enjoy - you'll be more motivated to continue.
  • Quiz yourself - try to read sections you've read before without translation.
  • Use the hover feature to check word meanings when needed.
  • Combine with other learning methods for a comprehensive approach.
